@12Cypher3@noble_sixB312@lastchalice So help me understand. I’ve only read the books/played the games, so I haven’t dug into the lore beyond that. Where does the idea of retconning come from? I don’t see a discrepancy between, for example, Contact Harvest and the Forerunner Saga
@noble_sixB312@lastchalice I’ve never understood this argument. The Librarian wanted the reseeded humanity to take up the Mantle of Responsibility. Therefore, it also logically tracks that she and the Iso Didact (Bornstellar) would make humanity capable of using Forerunner tech. No?
@interesting_aIl “Just buy a small plane.”
- $20k for your private pilot license, minimum
- $40k for an absolute shitbox of a plane
- Insurance. Hangar (or tie down fees). Annual maintenance. Fuel.
I say this as a professional pilot lol.
@CcibChris 5 of those are vaporware. And don’t forget China’s J-36. I believe J-50 is also becoming more popularly known as “J-XDS” in defense circles.
Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA alongside his many other responsibilities.
The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations.
To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond--these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age-- and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality.
And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility--but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible--to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space...and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further.
NASA will never be a caretaker of history--but will forever make history.
Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history 🇺🇸
In the middle of your book right now. As someone who agrees with your overall thesis: your book is far too verbose re: point 2. You could have made your points with 2/3-1/2 the word count, though I suspect your publisher would have been displeased. But let’s not pretend that your readership is hanging on every word, brother.
